Lindsey is the best! Very knowledgable of the habitat and area. We had a great time and would definitely recommend.
Yes, Lindsay is very knowledgeable about the ecology of the area! We appreciate your comments, thank you for coming on our tour!
A bit of a grueling day and a lot of riding in a van between locations, but our guide, Armando was upbeat and knowledgeable making it interesting.
Hi Holly, we're glad you found the tour interesting. We're sorry to hear that you found the van rides long between locations. The Everglades National park is a very large park, and so some of the most interesting locations can be a bit of a drive away. Thank you for coming on our tour!
What a super fun day. This time of year (April) turns out to be very suitable for this trip. We have seen a lot of alligators and dolphins! Lindsay did the tour with super enthusiasm. Great! Only we were not picked up at our hotel as promised. For this, we got $30 back and an apology, so fine solution. But it is useful to keep in mind that your hotel may not be in the pick-up zone.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie einen so schönen Tag hatten und so viele Alligatoren und Delfine sehen konnten, was für ein tolles Erlebnis! Es freut uns auch, dass Lindsays Begeisterung die Tour noch angenehmer gemacht hat. Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Verständnis bezüglich des Problems mit der Abholung und sind froh, dass wir eine gute Lösung dafür finden konnten. Nochmals vielen Dank, dass Sie mit uns unterwegs waren, und wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder auf einem weiteren Abenteuer begrüßen zu dürfen!
Enoch was awesome, and really knew his stuff. We loved the second boat best, but it was fun to get a taste of everything. The description doesn’t mention lunch, but rest assured, you get well fed. All in all a very fun trip and would highly recommend.
I chose this tour as my first solo adventure during my birthday, and I could not have been happier with my choice. Each part of the tour is magical in its own way, and I truly enjoyed the entire day. Our tour guide, Armando, was so knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience!
While it might seem a little pricey--go ahead and book it! Our all day adventure was excellent! Our guide, Enoche, was very friendly and a wealth of knowledge. Getting to see the Everglades and learn about the area more indepth was a fantastic experience. The lunch spot had really good food options--the Mahi Mahi tacos and Shrimp tacos were a hit. The airboat portion was extra special as we stopped and watched an Blue Heron eat a snake!
Very fun; the guides were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. A cold day but I would still do it again.
Thanks so much for the kind review and glad you enjoyed our tour!
The guide was knowledgeable, kept us up to date on timing and had a fun variety of activities. thanks
Wonderful! Thank you for your reveiw!
Excellent trip. Enoch was our guide and was amazing. We learned a lot about Everglades. Had a boat ride in the indian reservation - saw tons of birds, gators, a large blue heron eating an eel!, and one in the everglades park itself, with a lot of mangroves on the gulf thousand island side. had lunch at a good place, and a nature walk. worth it.
What a wonderful day! Love to hear you enjoyed the day and our guide Enoch. So happy to hear you saw so much wildlife and that blue heron sight!! Thanks for your kind review.
On time, experience matched advertising, you will get wet/ wear water shoes, bathing suit, rashguard- full sun exposure on arms and legs even with awning- don’t need insurance- impossible to sink the boat! We went 30 mph but you could stay in the rear if you didn’t want to go that fast- if nervous ask to get in water first to play with the steering/ throttle/ Hat with strap- it will blow off, Devin was responsible, clear and direct with instructions- we went on two different days and saw dolphins each time- dolphins were in arms reach each time
Wow! We are so delighted to hear your feedback about our tour. The wet walk is always so exciting, so we are happy about your experience. Thank you so much for coming out with us on two different days, we greatly appreciate it.
